The ghost actually doesn't sound that bad. And him leaving the house to follow Alex is a new development. I thought he was just there but only Alex could see him. Still, I'm not really sure how necessary he is. Alex seems to have quite a story regardless of the ghost's presence. I really want to find out what happened to him when he was growing up. The parental abuse in Mark and Sam's books was vaguely described, but it was hinted more than once that Alex caught the worst of it since he was the youngest and caught the brunt of their growing addiction.

I admit I like the ghost angle better than the glass magic thing in the previous book. And Alex clearly is the much more troubled brother, which does make sense if he was exposed to their parents at their worst. Considering the family history both Mark and Sam come across as quite well-adjusted to me.

Yes, I think the ghost plot will turn out much better than the glass magic stuff. I'm super excited for this book._________________She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain. -Louisa May Alcott

Well to be honest, i found rainshadow road not as good as her other contemparies.
Hopefull Alex and the girl(i forgot her name) seem to have a hate-love reaction, so maybe this 1 will have the spice that is associated with LK

I suspected since the first book that the last one would be Holly's dad's. Man, if they brought him in as a hero, there'd be all sorts of great tension already built in. Particularly since Mark is already her dad for all intents and purposes.
